It was Real. It was Crazy. It was real crazy..

We survived the first friday night here. You know those parties in the movies where there's like a million people walking around in a house with those red party cups and there's a keg in one room and hella people are waiting to get beer or whatever? Yeah well thats what this party was like.

So we were hecka bored sitting in our dorm after the debates and then our neighbors stopped by and were like hey we're going to this party cause we're hecka bored wanna come? So we were like ok and we went downthe hall and met up with these guys and some other girls and after like an hour and a half we end up at this house party off campus. We were only there for like 15 minutes but it was the craziest thing i've ever seen.

So there's this corpse debating Obama

I hope you all are watching the debates right now... I don't want to say much about it but i will say the 1. The guy hosting the debates is totally weird and annoying. 2. McCain doesn't make any sense about anything and 3. Obama is making him look like a little girl.



So my math class is a total drag...I'm ridiculously bored in it and its terrible. we were adding and subtracting fractions today...I mean really...really? this is college...please.
but Supposedly its just review and things will get harder, so I guess we'll see about that.

I really like my Philosophy of Religion class, its super interesting and not at all what I thought it would be like. Its cool. The teacher is kind of annoying though cause he always lets us out hella late and I have to book it across campus and up 5 flights of stairs to get to my lame ass math class.

So its the first weekend here and I guess we should be doing something exciting..I'm not really sure what we're gonna do but I guess its still early and we can find something. I'm kind of disappointed cause Jackie was supposed to be coming up but she hurt her leg and she can't.
But next weekend Jackie is coming to pick us up with Cam Cam and maybe Beau and I'm sooo excited I can't wait. And we're gonna meet Cam's mommy cause she's coming to visit him that weekend. Its gonna be legit.


ps- McCain thinks we're winning the war in Iraq. Who is he kidding??

Its real. Its good. It's Real Good.

Just got back from Spanish with Claire, we have a two hour break on Thursdays so we're just sitting in the dorm. She just made a blog so you should all check it out but it will pretty much say the same thing as mine. the URL is http://clairiece.blogspot.com

Anyways, Spanish was good today, the teacher talks in Spanish the whole time and I thought that it was going to be really hard but I actually understood everything and it was pretty cool. It seems like its going to be really easy, today we just went over syllables and pronunciation of words with accents and stuff.
They have hella cute western stuff here like sweatshirts and stuff so I'll probably buy some later I already bought a shirt the other day so maybe I'll wait a little while. I need to go shopping hecka bad though cause I pretty much have no clothes to wear. Who would have thought that I need some long sleeves here?? Actually, I'm not gonna lie, I knew but its way more fun to buy dresses and cute summer shirts so that's what I bought all summer long but there is this cute little vestie that I want from Love culture (best store ever) so I know I'm gonna be shopping when I get back.
The mall up here isn't that great and I'd rather shop with jackie anyways so we're just gonna wait until we go home for a weekend (next weekend actually).


So when I was packing my stuff i put my laundry detergent in my these little orange rugs i was bringing and somehow along the way it spilled and the rug was folded so it left a bunch of spots on it and it looked hecka dirty. So last night Claire had the genius idea to wash it so I stuck it in the sink and it got all wet and but then we couldn't ring it out cause its hella thick...so I hung it out the window to dry but its still just as wet this morning...I think its gonna take about a week to dry. Actually.






But on the upside there was a sale at fred meyer and we bought a ton of food. Like we got 48 ramen for 4 dollars. What a deal! we also snagged some stuff from the dining hall like bagels and we have Tupperware that we're gonna take so we can have more snacks.
As you can see its all healthy and delicious...yummy!





We have also acquired a generous supply of splenda courtesy of starbucks. Actually we stole it. But I think we need it more than they do and I know they have a ton in the back and I bought a short hot chocolate to make up for it.





This is our secret toaster oven (and a bunch of our ramen-- cause it wouldn't all fit on the shelf...cause we have like 50 of them) But its secret cause we're not supposed to have things that have an open coil or burner-- aka this. But we already got it so its just gonna stay hidden but we can only really use it when our RA isn't here. But she's not here a lot during the day so it should be fine.

First day of Classes

So Today was the first day of classes, it was really good all my teachers seem pretty cool.

• Spanish 201- I was kind of nervous about skipping 101 and I have the same class as Claire so its pretty sweet that we have our first class in the morning. We woke up and made our coffee and had breakfast and stuff in our dorm which was pretty cool and then we walk the like...MILE to our class. Only its actually not that far but its down a huge hill and it sucks to walk back up it. The spanish teacher is pretty nice, i forget what her name is but she's funny and seems like she'll be a good teacher. I dont think spanish will be too hard, cause she said its meant for people who had atleast 3 years of spanish in highschool and remember it. Claire and I talk in spanish all the time so it should be cool
  
• Education 197- My next class but its in the same room as my spanish class which is cool cause I dont have to walk anywhere but I left and went to the bathroom anyways cause I didn't want to be the only loser in there sitting at a desk the whole time. So I came back and the teacher's name the William Harrison Lay and we're supposed to be existentialist and decide what to call him...but he gave us like a million choices like will willy bill billy william lay and like a bajillion other things so it kind of sucked and i dont know what to call him. So i guess i'll just wait and see what everyone else calls him. I think the teacher assistant girl called him Bill so maybe i'll stick with that. Anyways the class seems like its gonna be hella easy, its a seminar class where we learn about what it takes to be a teacher at western and a little bit about teaching. So its mostly a lot of guest speakers and lectures and making connections with people around campus which is good. It isn't actually a class, its like 25 people who said that they are interested in education on their applications and had good grades and stuff and so they picked us and they're gonna hook us up with all this stuff thats supposed to help us succeed.
  
• Philosophy of religion- So i didn't really even want to take this class and I kind of got stuck in it but it actually seems like its going to be really interesting. The professor is pretty chill and we're going to be looking at it from both sides and its not supposed to be biased towards one side or another so it shoudl be enlightening or whatever. I sat next to this one guy who was kind of hot but I think he was married.
  
• Math- The teacher is kind of a babe and it seems hella easy for now. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Dorm pics

So i guess now that i'm off to college it'll be easier for me to keep up this blog to keep everyone updated on stuff. I get hella bored so i might write on it a lot but i'm hella lazy too so i'll probably forget. but I took some pictures of our dorm to put up. For those of you who don't know i'm rooming with my best friend claire and we're living in Kappa on the Ridge.


This is a picture from the window kind of facing the door. its cool cause we have our desks next to each other and that pink chair is one of those cool ones that folds out in to a bed so we can have visitors over to spend the night.



This one is the room from the door. Mine is the bottom bunk and claire is on top and that our mini fridge and microwave and coffee maker next to it and our beautiful purse collection






This is the closet and our tv and little kitchen area is in that corner by the window. We have a lot of stuff kind of, we have a dvd player and cable and a wii. but we dont have any games for the wii yet. We played rockband with some guys down the hall the other day and that was pretty fun. but the one guy was a drummer and he was really good so he played on expert while me and claire and the other guy played on easy and medium. I tried the drums...but it was the hardest thing i've ever done in my life.


This is my bed and the chaire under claire's bed. Its pretty cool cause its like a couch type place and its nice and cozy under there.






We're trying to keep it pretty clean cause its really cute and people keep coming in to say how cute it is. We met the girl from down the hall, her name is Shea and she has a lobster like mine (the one i stole from claire's little brother on accident...but i love it) but it sucks to be her cause she has to live with the RA. Our RA is pretty nice i guess, she lives a few doors down from us.

K well i'm gonna try and keep this updated but i bet i wont. so remind me i guess.
